There has been unusually widespread celebration of Emancipation Day, Jau- i nary 1, north, south and West. A meeting of the New York Peace Suckiy was held at the Hotel Astor to bear reports from the First Universal Races Congress. Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, made tin- welcoming speech to the Inter state Lit.-iary Association, which met at Wichita. The Tri State Medical Association of Colored Physicians meets at Jackson ville this month. The Negro problem was discussed during convention week at Washing ton by Prof. Albert E. Jenks, of the University of Minnesota, before the an thropologists. "Rural conditions in the South” were discussed before the American Economic Association. Alien Chapel of Kansas City has es tablished shower baths and built a large swimming pool. It also has a handball court and a day nursery. T ie colored people of Chicago have leased Mount Glenwood Grove for fifty j ears. They propose to hold an annual Chautauqua Colored lawyers have formed a State Bar Association in North Carolina. Colored farmers of the Brazos farms, Texas, have organized a trading asso ciation by which they pool their cash and trade with the lowest-bidding mer chants. The annual dinner of the colored ministers of Washington, D. C., has taken place. L. A Headen of New York City has been flying at the Mineola aviation grounds, lit has now started south for aii exposition tour. The new league on Urban Condition Among Negroes, recently formed in New York, is maintaining a probation officer in the courts and trying to es tablish decent places of detention, for delinquent colored girls. THE RAGGED LITTLE BOY. He stood beneath the flaring lights; His clothes were thin and old; The wind upon the avenue That night was piercing cold. He tried to sell his papers, But the people would not buy; And while he shivered on the stones A tear stood iu his eye. "What will you do when you are a man ?” A stranger kindly said. 'Ilie boy a moment seemed to smile. And then he shook his head. “I can not tell you sir.” said he, And brushed a tear away, “But mother says she hopes that I May rule this laud some day.” A lady fair, upon whose bans A diamond flashed th light, A moment stopped before the lad That cold and stormy night. Her danty fingers drew her purse. And in his hand so cold She dropped, with just her sweetest smile, . Some bright and shining gold. “When. you’re a man what. aettL-jpau do?" The wealthy^ lady cried. “I'll pay you back a hundred fold," The little boy replied. "One little room we cull our home, Amid the shadows ^ay. But mother says she hopes that I May rule this land some day," Beneath, the starry flag that floats With pride from sea to sea, A ragged coat is no disgrace; For here all men are free. The tittle boy who shivers in Ha garments old apd poor, May open, as the President, Some day the White House door. W? cannot cast the horoscope Of every boy we meet And jostle as we hasten down The ever-crowded street; For a mothers prayers are answered in A region far away, And he who wears a ragged coat Mar rule our land some day. —T. C. Harbaugh, in St. Louis Globe- Democrat. POLITICAL. President Taft has again indicated his hostility toward Negroes by sign ing an executive order, providing that in the case of all free rural delivery appointments, three elhibles shall be certified in each instance to the ap pointing office Instead of one, as in the past. This appears to be done for the purpose of preventing colored men who pass the examinations from being appointed. On account of discrimination against colored civil .servants in the general associations, the colored men are pro posing to form the National Associa tion of Afro-American Classified Fed eral Employees Milton S. Malone has been appoint ¬ ed postmaster ax Hiltop, W. Va. He is thq second colored man to hold such a position in the State. I The annual message of Governor Blease of South Carolina contained the following message; Negro Lodges. “I recommend that you pass some act, like the Rucker bill, Introduced a few sessions ago, in regard to Negro lodges. Much annoyance r is using caused in various parts of the State by the organization of such longes. Negroes who commit crimes are glum assistance in escaping; money is mis led to pay lawyers, if the one charged with a crime is a member of the lodge; therefore, such lodges should be disbanded. White Persons Teaching Negro Chil dren. “It is recommended that you pass an act prohibiting any white person from teaching in Negro schools or teaching Negro children. We boast of the fact that we have no social equal ity in South Carolina, yet white pea pie are teaching in Negro schools, who are associating with the pupils and teaching them that they a*e as good as white people, and are Instill Ing into their heads ideas of social equality. Not long since a white wo man land a good looking one) was seen* walking' on’ a Negro school ground with one arm around a Negro boy and the other around a Negro girl. What do you expect to be the outcome of this kind of conduct? Stop It, and stop it now. Notaries Public. “A proclamation was issued revok ing the commission of all notaries public. You passed a new act and since 8.681 have been commissioned. While this has been no hardship to any individual, for any citizen ought to be willing -to pay $3 per annum, much less >2 in whole for a notary public commission, by doing this I have made the State 7,473 25; have injured no one. and got rid of all Ne- - gro officeholders'in the State 1 'T^fBc^ew~OT^ans’ (La.) Item says. “Now comes the charge that Mack. ^and-tan Republicans have been ahow- 'e'ti to register in the city by the bun dreds. Ordinarily the Democ rats seek to prevent Negroes from qualitying in the registration office. The charge is made that these Negroes were permit ted to register at substations during the last few days. u “It is further reported the Lfly White Republican leaflets will get to gether within a few days and take some action relative to the primary they have called for January 24 It is intimated that with the large num her of Negro registrations reported the Negroes might be able to outvote the Lily Whites .in the January 24 primary. Hence the anxiety, as one Republican put it Saturday night ” The General Educational Board ria- ports that it has contributed since its founding between >600,901) and |7u0,- 000 to forty-one schools for Negroes. In only one case has money been given to an institution for higher training, although funds have been promised Fisk University if it meets some very difficult conditions. -I
